Great for these types of students

Itasca Community College is a great school for students who want to be close to home, save money, and who want a personal environment. Also if you like friendly and personal staff, Itasca Community College is a good place to start.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you take the English and Math entry tests when you register. These tests are required to see if students are ready for college level classes. You will do fine. Apply for scholarships. Take a tour around Itasca Community College and find your classes. Ask questions; don't worry the teachers won't bite. Get your schedule from the Admissions Office and your books from the book store. You can save money by buying used books or by going to chegg. com. Chegg is a book rental service, which saves students a lot of money. Also get your picture taken for your school id. Last of all remember, to study hard, ask questions, and have fun. You can do it.

Bang for the buck

Itasca Community College is a fairly cheap school to attend. It is around $4,000. Scholarships are available, which can help cover the cost.

Am enjoying being here

Itasca Community College is a good place to start. I enjoy Itasca Community College because it is a small and friendly campus. Teachers and students are friendly. It is in a fairly small town, but has stores so you can get your midnight study snacks.

Am learning a lot

It is a good college. Teachers at Itasca Community College are friendly, helpful, and willing to answer questions inside and outside of class. Class sizes are small and most classes are interactive. I am learning new things and getting by generals done.

Itasca Community College is great for someone unsure about what they want to major in. In addition, they offer Associates Degrees in Business, Engineering, Nursing,Forestry, and a traditional AA.

Itasca has a pow wow every year. Allowing students to be exposed to an Indian Culture.

Food and Dining

Selection is limited but the food they serve is good.

Dorm Life

Only one dorm building but very comfortable and close to campus.

Academic Rigor

The over all programs are challenging but can be done with hard work.

Tips for prospective students

Get your AA degree and transfer to another school. You will receive a great education and save money.

from Grand Rapids, MN

I've never had any problems feeling safe at ICC, but campus security is always there if you don't feel safe.

Great for these types of students

Forestry, engineering or nursing students have the best options for classes here, though the AA program is good as well. If you don't like small towns or rural areas, or don't enjoy hunting or snowmobiling, you won't have much to do.

What to do for fun

On campus there are a number of clubs, there are always computer labs, and there are several student events throughout the year. There's a bowling alley nearby, too, and the movie theater in town is great.

Food and Dining

The food can be really nice, and there are some great deals. It's not the best food you've ever had, but it's certainly not the worst.

Dorm Life

I don't live in the dorms, but I've heard good and bad stories about them.

Academic Rigor

The classes, in my experience, aren't extremely hard, but you can't just expect to slip through and get a decent grade if you don't put in any work.

Tips for prospective students

Be aware that ICC is pretty small, and most of the students have a pretty good idea of what the best classes to take are and which teachers are best. Don't be afraid to talk to other students and ask about their favorite hangouts or the best deals here.

In three sentences

Itasca Community College is small but welcoming. There are clubs and student activities, and you never have to go outside to get to your classroom if the weather is bad because all of the buildings are connected by tunnels. If you need a great place to start your college education, ICC is for you.

What to do for fun

Grand Rapids is a great area if you are big into hunting and fishing. Being in Minnesotas wilderness there is plenty of public land to walk trails and go hunting. There is also a plethora of lakes for endless fishing opportunities. In town, there is a movie theater and a bowling alley. It is a fairly small town but still has stuff to do to stay occupied.

Food and Dining

The food is average. Can be a bit pricey and the meal card plan is a bit much for someone to spend and not have carry over if it is not all spent.

Dorm Life

I never had the experience to live in the dorms. However, from what i have seen and heard, the dorms are a great starting point. They are very roomy and allow for a great college experience.

Academic Rigor

Your knowledge will definitely be tested within the engineering department. All the professors are very smart and really know how to get the most out of the students. The multiple projects also test the student ability to manage time outside of class. Many things stack up on one another and it takes a lot to keep up in the classroom while getting everything done on time.

Tips for prospective students

If you are looking for a small, inexpensive college to get a start on your future than ICC is the place to go especially if you are an engineering major. ICC's project based learning approach to engineering is above all else and is a great starting point. You will gain all knowledge needed to make the next steps after transferring out of ICC
